Roman goalkeeper Svilal revealed that he lived at Matic's home when he was a child.

Sveral, who has Serbian and Belgian nationality, talked about his relationship with Serbian veteran Matic in Sky Sports. "My relationship with Matic goes back many years ago, when he was still playing for Chelsea. I went to London and lived at his house and I had my own bed, but I was always hungry because he had nothing to eat at home, haha." Sveral was only 10 years old at the time, and he and Matic were the same agent.

Sveral and Matic also worked in Rome for a year. "Matic always gives advice. He is a very good person. He has always been a role model for me. Although he only played for one year in Rome, that time was very good. He was a great man and an excellent player. Unfortunately, we only played together for a year, but he knew I paid attention to him."

Finally, Sveral also talked about the current coach of Rome, Gasperini, "He brought a winning mentality, and he paid great attention to it when training like the game. We will continue to move forward like this."
